5-minute break, good or bad?

[Porras2424]

Better known old minutes than new ones to know, so it has always been played and I stand perfect at 5 when I reach the game hour to restructure my strategy for the second hour, and when I reach 3 hours of the tournament, a break of 15 minutes ,,,, of course taking into account that we are alive and well positioned to face the final stretch ,,, Time a never ending dilemma, we have to worry about staying alive and kicking ,,, good luck with the times of rest ,,,, take it easy ... luck ,,

It is perfect. Any longer people might get mad any shorter people might get mad.

 

[Deeznutzzzz]

5 minutes is perfect. Just enough time to stretch, eat and take care of business. Any longer would be to much.

 

[Laynester]

A break is always a good thing....

Except when .... ya know ...late Saturday night and you're with.....


Oh NEVER MIND!

Thank you for listening!!

Tell Tammi I want a Date. : )

..bluff...

 

[FIERROS]

A break is definitely good.

 

[luckyhenri]

5min + break is good enough

 

[thedarkman]

I think 5 minutes is perfect. But, it would be a good idea to have a 10-15 mins break every 4hs or so..

If you've been playing 4 hours you're probably in the money, so why would you want a long break? There are two day tournaments on PokerStars.

Oh no, what I meant is to have a longer break every 4hs, not just for a single tournament...

All rooms have 5 mins breaks at :55 to the hour. So it would be good to know you have a longer break at X hour, let say 5 PM in example (and 9PM, 1AM, 5AM, etc...)

Regular MTTs players have 8hs or longer sessions sometimes, and 5 mins are not enough to do some things.

Those 5 minutes of rest every hour in the tournaments ... they are totally necessary ... it allows us to go to the bathroom ... take a phone call, get up to have a cup of coffee ... walk a little ... anyway ... they are necessary ...

 

[Steve Deeble]

Yeah I think it’s necessary a good chance to clear your head for a few.

 

[fernandofcp]

Very productive the break. Opportunity to have a drink, or have a snack, or go to the bathroom. I consider it appropriate.

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

hello

rest is necessary to relax or lower the tension of the game and rethink new strategies to continue clearer greetings

 

[Spheremaster]

Breaks are needed... food, drink, pee 5 minutes is perfect.

 

[inox73]

time to go to toilet or take a drink all in all ok sometimes i hate the breaks

 

[malibuflo1]

5 minute its perfect

 

[FF2586]

Hey!!!
Everyone needs a break!
10 mins would be even better than 5

[efranto2286]

Hello friends, for me, 5 minutes are perfect, standing up, going to the bathroom, I think more would be a lot ...

 

[Bhzrd588]

I think 5 minutes is ok until you reach 2 or 3 hours of play in tournaments. After that i think everyone needs more at least half hour to relax the mind and the body and do anything else that is needed so you can be fresh again and start playing for three more hours.

 

[PatriceM915]

Yes, but this playstyle variation can happen before the break.

But I would like them to have a no break tournament under the name Nobreak and with varying blind times to get the feeling of survival.

 

[COMIRRR]

The break is welcome, I get up, I move a little, I go to the bathroom, I get a cold beer

 

[TeUnit]

I am a big fan of the 5 minute break and I only wish that every site did the break at 55 after.

 

[Chel_nv]

I think in general, it's good that there is a break, as it helps to relieve some tension and make coffee, but it would be great if a little break is increased, for example, once every 2 hours to take a break of 10 minutes to have time to apply and warm up food, because the tournament lasts at least 4 hours or even more.

 

[Rob Hobson]

Good enough, for the freerolls.

 

[Fivefor]

How can you not have a break every now and then? All poker tournaments - live and online need to have breaks because everyone is a slave to their bodily function biology as well as needing just a few minutes to stretch or grab some nutritional sustenance.

Back in the early days of online poker when tournament breaks weren't synchronized, it was mayhem and such mayhem birthed the necessity for the pee bottle or pee jug but, honestly, who would ever want to do that again....

 

[smpolak]

With online poker I can take my mobile device or tablet anywhere, and still play poker. So I can be in the bathroom, cooking dinner, in bed, out for a walk or any other activity. I’ve done it all it doesn’t stop me. I don’t care if they have any breaks at all.
